Yeah my car hasn't really lost more than a quart of oil between each oil change. I read that it should lose a quart every 1500 miles and I've let it go for over 3000 and haven't really burned a substantial amout. And for the amount that I leak it's possible that I am not burning any.

Is this something that I should look into or just wait until it starts causing problems. The 87 N/A runs like a scared rabbit so it doesn't seem to be doing any damage. I've run the car for about 10,000 miles so far in it's current condition.

As far as I know, you wouldn't feel any difference in power, since the oil injection is only there to lubricate the seals, to promote longevity.

I was worried about my GXL, since it didn't seem to be going through oil as quickly as it should have. I decided to use premix, but only a small amount of it, probably 1:300 ratio. Strangely enough, I have noticed the amont on the stick seems to be less now too. I don't have any leaks. But then again I have been checking it more regularly also.

Remember to check the level when the engine is COLD.

Just to reassure you, I purchased an '89 TII new, now 156,000 miles...Changed oil every 3,000 miles and have never needed to add any oil. In fact, in that time frame, loss is only minimal.

That's good to know.
